Why do photons bend around the stars?
Einstein theorized that photons curve around the stars because of curved space time. He specified equations which calculated the bending of photons from far stars around our sun. His work was proven to be true by astronomers during an eclipse of the sun by the moon.
Einstein’s general relativity has provided us with excellent results. He wrote equations but he did not answer why. Why do photons bend around the stars?
In the Dot-wave theory everything in the universe is composed of a multiplicity of plus, minus, and bipolar dot-waves. What we call space itself is made up of dot-waves. When an atom exists in space, it contains surplus dot-waves of very tiny mass. As atoms switch state it takes a certain quanta of dot-waves to register. Thus when dot-waves hit a moving atom no momentum is readily seen to be absorbed. Yet something happens.
Around the sun the density of dot-waves of low mass/energy is higher nearer the sun. Photons absorb dot-waves when the gravitational intensity is higher than at the previous location. When it is less they lose dot-waves. As a photon from the far stars comes toward the sun, it will absorb more dot-waves on the side facing the sun and less on the opposite side. The speed will remain the same at light speed Co but the momentum will have an unbalance. This will cause the photon to bend toward the sun.
Therefore the photon will bend around the sun as per Einstein’s equations. So now we know the why.

That makes just as much sense if you replace every instance of "dot waves" by "Unicorns"
